Flexible New Deal has been introduced by the government to help people who have been out of work for a long time, prepare for and find a job.

It’s a completely new approach and being Flexible it means that A4e are free to help you in the way that’s best for you. We will work with you for up to 12 months to ensure that you are prepared and ready to work and then continue to support you when you get a job.

Flexible New Deal provides joined up support for you and A4e will work with local partners to deliver activities and training to support you in your journey into work. These might include anything from debt and housing advice, support with job search and CV writing to work placements and training to get you ready for a particular job. We will also work with local employers to ensure that we can identify opportunities and work with them to identify suitable people to fill roles.

FND is working throughout Scotland in Edinburgh, Lothians’ and Borders areas.

The filmed case studies below show how we are helping people back into employment.
